It depends how concentrated it is.

If it is 100% pure, then it weighs 1.840 g/mL, and so 1 gallon weighs 6965.15 g, or 6.965 kg (3785.41 mL per gallon). That's equal to 15.35 lbs.

However, it is VERY unlikely that you actually have completely pure H2SO4, and at most normal concentrations, the density of sulfuric acid is very close (but slightly more) than that of water. A gallon of water weighs 8.345 lbs. So a gallon of dilute sulfuric acid will weigh about 8.5 lbs, and a very concentrated solution will weigh close to 15 lbs.

Is sulfuric acid heavier than water?

Well, sugar, let me break it down for you. Sulfuric acid is indeed heavier than water, with a density of about 1.84 grams per cubic centimeter compared to water's 1 gram per cubic centimeter. So, in simple terms, if you had a gallon of sulfuric acid and a gallon of water, the sulfuric acid would weigh more. Hope that clears things up for you, honey!
